The Round 1 win was as solid performance for the Suns but there were still plenty of signs of off-season rust. Ante Covic had a stellar PlayStation®4 NPL NSW Men’s competition debut and is sure to be tested by a dynamic Sydney United 58 outfit which includes prolific attackers Pany Nikas, Nick Olsen and Glen Trifiro. The Reds were surprise losers in Round 1 and will be determined to get off the mark this week. 1ST GRADE - PLAYSTATION 4 NPL NSW MEN’S POS TEAM P W D L F A GD PTS 1 Wollongong Wolves FC 1 1 0 0 3 1 2 3 2 Sydney Olympic FC 1 1 0 0 2 0 2 3 3 Manly United FC 1 1 0 0 3 2 1 3 4 Rockdale City Suns FC 1 1 0 0 2 1 1 3 5 APIA Leichhardt Tigers FC 1 1 0 0 2 1 1 3 6 Hakoah Sydney City East FC 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 7 Blacktown City FC 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 8 Sutherland Sharks FC 1 0 0 1 2 3 -1 0 9 Sydney United 58 FC 1 0 0 1 1 2 -1 0 10 Sydney FC 1 0 0 1 1 2 -1 0 11 Parramatta FC 1 0 0 1 1 3 -2 0 12 Bonnyrigg White Eagles FC 1 0 0 1 0 2 -2 0 5 FIRST GRADE #PS4NPLNSW Sydney FC 3-1 Rockdale City Suns, 5.45pm at Lambert Park Sydney FC made light work of Rockdale City Suns on their NPL 1 debut after cruising to a 3-1 victory over Rockdale City Suns at Lambert Park. A brace from John Iredale and an Alusine Fofanah strike ensured the Sky Blues opened the new campaign on the right note, while James Temelkovski scored on debut for Rockdale. A trip to Melita Stadium to face Parramatta awaits Sydney next weekend with Rockdale set to entertain Sydney United 58 at Illinden Sports Centre. Sydney United 58 v APIA Leichhardt Tigers, 4.00pm at Sydney United Sports Centre Sydney United 58 cruised to a comfortable 2-0 victory over 10-man APIA Leichhardt at Sydney United Sports Centre in the opening round of the PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s U20 campaign. Reds striker Luke Ivancic opened the scoring and later missed a penalty in a first half that saw APIA captain Stephan Adattini dismissed for a handball after blocking Anthony Vrlic’s goalbound effort on the line. Jack Stewart doubled the advantage early in the second half for Sydney United who could’ve increased the deficit further but for some wayward finishing inside the final third. While it was far from one way traffic and a generally spirited performance from the visiting ten men, APIA were starved of possession and chances in the second half and unable to force an way back into the contest. The visitors will lament not making more of a promising start that saw a slew of opportunities missed inside the opening fifteen minutes. APIA marksman Matthew Barko created the first chance of the game early on after chasing his own flick on but could only steer his shot wide one on one with Sydney United goalkeeper Lucas Pervan. Barko then turned provider for Samuel Gulisano who sent a shot dribbling wide of the far post after breaking free inside the penalty area, before a superb counter attack was wasted at the death when winger Samuel Paslis spooned his effort over the bar. APIA were punished for their profligacy when Ivancic nodded home Anthony Poljak’s cross from point blank range to put the Reds 1-0 up. The visitors were placed firmly on the back foot soon after with Adattini’s dismissal, who was deemed to have illegally obstructed Vrlic’s goalbound effort inside the area. The APIA defender was given his marching orders but Ivancic’s penalty was weak and comfortably gathered by Blake Tuxford low to the keeper’s left. Tuxford’s penalty save had restored some hope for the Tigers but Sydney United 58 ensured it would be a mountain to climb for their opponents in the second half when Jack Stewart doubled the advantage early on. A delightful piece of close control and shot from Reds midfielder Andre Schroeder saw the ball rebound off the foot of the post and straight into the path of Stewart, who made no mistake with the goal gaping. The hosts created several changes to add a third with Schroeder himself unfortunate not to find the back of the net after seeing a sweetly-struck drive from close range blocked by Joshua Symons, but a combination of stoic APIA defending and several fine saves from Tuxford kept the scoreline at 2-0 and gave the Reds a dream start to the 2017 season. 6 ROUND 1 NPLNSW.COM.AU TEAM OF THE 01: LARGE USE: OVER 150MM WIDE This logo has a smaller ‘®’ symbol 02: FOOTBALL NSW WOULDSMAL LIKEL USE: TO55MM THANK - 150MM WID THEIRE SPONSORS FOR THEIRThis CONTINUED logo has a larger ‘ ®SUPPORT’ symbol 7 FEATURE STORY #PS4NPLNSW FOOTBALL NSW LAUNCHES he PlayStation®4 (PS4™) National Premier with PlayStation4 with the powerhouse TLeagues NSW 2017 Season was launched sponsor throwing its full support behind by Football NSW at Waterview in Bicentennial grassroots football in Australia.
